HttpView2 1.1-beta

Yesterday I released a first beta version of HttpView2. This is the first development release of HV2 since Goran published version 1.0 in November 2004.

HttpView2 (aka HV2) is a little, lean web framework for Squeak. Since Goran, the original author, has given me complete development freedom, I’m steering HV2 away from being a framework for web applications and towards being one for RESTful web services.

Highlights of this new development release include:

a new, generic Canvas system

a new XHTML Canvas system, inspired by Seaside’s one.

HTTP responses are now accessible from the various View methods

source code reorganization

HV2 1.1 is available on Squeak Map. If you have any bug reports, or you’re interested in helping, drop me a line in the comments.
